The challenge we are addressing revolves around the inefficiencies in healthcare supply chains, which have significant global ramifications. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), an estimated 2 billion people lack access to essential medicines, with low- and middle-income countries disproportionately affected. These inefficiencies result in preventable deaths and increased morbidity rates. Studies indicate that up to 30% of medicines are wasted before reaching patients due to supply chain inefficiencies, leading to stockouts and shortages in healthcare facilities. Delays in the delivery of healthcare commodities have severe consequences for patient care, especially for chronic diseases like HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis. Furthermore, inefficient supply chains incur significant economic costs, contributing to an annual loss of over $100 billion globally in the health sector alone, as estimated by the WHO. These challenges are particularly acute in rural and remote areas, exacerbating disparities in healthcare access and outcomes. Moreover, the COVID-19 pandemic has further strained supply chains, with disruptions in global logistics and increased demand for healthcare commodities. Our solution aims to optimize supply chains, predict delays, and enhance customer satisfaction using advanced analytics, addressing these pressing issues head-on. The next problem I am addressing is the lack of research on Adrenocortical Carcinoma and the dangers of diagnosing the cancer in the later stages. According to studies from the University of Michigan Health Rogel Cancer Center, the overall five-year survival rate for individuals diagnosed with Adrenocortical carcinoma is approximately 50%. However, this rate decreases to around 35% for patients who are unable to undergo surgery. Survival rates also vary depending on the tumor's stage. This rare and aggressive adrenal cancer (ACC) affects 0.7-2 individuals per 100,000 yearly. Diagnosis involves symptoms, hormone levels, and MRIs. AI, especially deep learning, enhances MRI accuracy for early tumor detection, revolutionizing healthcare with improved radiology for clearer diagnoses and actionable findings. AI revolutionizes medical imaging, aiding in cancer detection and tumor analysis. Deep learning algorithms excel in spotting subtle MRI abnormalities, enabling accurate tumor classification and outcome prediction. Recent studies deploy ML to distinguish adrenal lesions and classify brain tumors, optimizing accuracy. Deep learning holds promise across cancer imaging applications, showcasing its transformative impact in medicine. My solution addresses the gap in AI-based diagnostics for Adrenocortical Carcinoma (ACC), leveraging Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and advanced hyperparameter optimization techniques. By harnessing AI and machine learning, I aim to provide a reliable predictive model for diagnosing this rare cancer affecting the adrenal glands. Through extensive experimentation and refinement, my approach achieves promising results, surpassing metrics reported in existing research on ACC diagnosis. In addition to developing custom models, I trained and hyper-tuned parameters for four pre-trained models: VGG16, MobileNetV2, ConvNetX V2, and ResNet50. These established architectures serve as a foundation, enabling efficient transfer learning and leveraging existing knowledge in image classification. This comprehensive approach demonstrates the transformative potential of AI in healthcare and underscores my commitment to advancing medical science through cutting-edge technology. My solution surpasses current research achieving diagnosing accuracy due to my novel solution.

Rather than running through all epochs blindly, Optuna continuously evaluated key metrics like accuracy and loss. It intervened to stop training when performance stabilized or exhibited diminishing returns, preventing overfitting and maximizing efficiency.
In addition to my custom CNN model, I leveraged the capabilities of four pre-trained models - VGG16, MobileNetV2, ConvNetX V2, and ResNet50 - to capitalize on existing knowledge and architectures in image classification. This comprehensive approach, combined with innovative epoch management using Optuna, resulted in a powerful and accurate cancer detection system.
I gathered data from publicly available datasets like Pubmed and The Cancer Imaging Archive, comprising 1580 MRI images of adrenal glands. This included 940 images with Adrenocortical Carcinoma (ACC) and 640 images of normal adrenal glands. After converting labels to numerical values, I split the dataset for robust training and evaluation.
My highest-performing model achieved a mean accuracy of 93.37% achieving higher accuracy than most if not all research out there for Adrenocortical Carcinoma diagnosis through Deep Learning/AI.

By training on historical data and predicting future demand levels, this model assists in optimizing inventory management and supply chain operations. Evaluation metrics like Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) help assess the accuracy of demand forecasts, guiding decision-making processes and resource allocation.
Delivery Delay Prediction Model: This binary classification model utilizes a RandomForestClassifier algorithm to predict delivery delays based on supply chain attributes. By analyzing historical data, including order details, transportation modes, and vendor information, the model identifies potential delays. This proactive approach enables optimization of operations, efficient resource allocation, and contingency planning. Timely delivery predictions enhance customer satisfaction through proactive communication and expectation management. Leveraging data-driven decision-making, this model empowers supply chain managers to enhance operational efficiency and build a smarter supply chain system.
The model achieved an accuracy of 94.34%.
